This course, usually spread across three months, is aimed at and tailored to staff who work as advisors, teachers and mentors.

Led by one of our experienced coaching associates, and within a supportive peer group, the course will help you to integrate coaching skills into your work and to develop new ways of working with your clients, colleagues and students.

You will develop the essential skills, techniques and understanding to become a proficient coach. You will be introduced to a variety of tools which can enhance the way you work with colleagues, clients and students to bridge the gap between potential and performance.

Upon completion, participants have the option to receive the Guildhall Foundation Certificate in Coaching & Mentoring, accredited with the EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council), by keeping a reflective diary of their coaching practice. Alternatively, participants will receive a certificate of attendance if they do not wish to complete the reflective diary.

The course consists of three full day seminar sessions (organised as 2 consecutive days, a gap period of normally three months before the third day) during which participants will work on a variety of real-life problems, receiving skilled feedback to develop your work as a coach.

All participants will be offered a 1-1 session with one of our experienced coaches as part of the course.
